Dune Velvet Chenille Cushion - Mole

The Dune Velvet Chenille Cushion is a plain square cushion measuring 50 x 50cm, made from 100% polyester chenille. Chenille is a pile fabric, which is what gives this cushion its soft, dense surface and the gentle sheen you can see catching the light across the face. In the Mole colourway it reads as a warm, mid-brown with a faint mottling through the weave, the sort of tone that sits quietly rather than announcing itself. The wide flat border framing the pad is an oxford trim, a stitched surround that lifts the plain centre and gives the edge a tailored line.

At 50 x 50cm this is a full-sized square cushion, well suited to the back of a sofa or an armchair where you want something to lean into rather than a small accent. The plain reverse means it works turned either way, and the muted brown pairs easily with natural linens, greys and creams, so it settles into a relaxed living room without fighting the rest of the scheme. It also sits comfortably alongside patterned cushions, where its plain face gives the eye somewhere to rest. Use it singly on a chair or in a pair across a wider sofa.

The cushion is finished with the oxford border on both the face and the plain reverse, so the tailored edge carries all the way round. Because it is polyester chenille, the fabric is hard-wearing and holds its colour well through everyday use. The supplier gives no washing instructions for this cushion, so we would suggest treating it gently and checking any spot cleaning on a hidden area first. The Dune name runs across a range of muted earthy tones, so if brown is not quite your shade there are other colourways to look for.
